Governance

Tyndale Christian School is an independent, co-educational, inter-denominational school. It is governed by an incorporated Association – Tyndale Christian School Incorporated.

The School Association consists of people who have, or who have had, a direct relationship with the School, whether as a parent, staff member or former student. The Association appoints up to 12 of its members to the Board of Governors, who are the custodians of:

  • the School’s Vision
  • Mission
  • Core Purpose
  • Values. 

The Board of Governors appoints the Head of Schools who, as their Executive Officer, oversees the management of the School on a day to day basis. The Head of Schools reports directly to the Board of Governors and is accountable to them.
